Subject: Re: [PATCH v2][EFI] Run EFI in physical mode

We're seeing issues with some Dell hardware when EFI is run in physical 
mode - it seems that Windows uses virtual mode, so the physical path is 
never exercised. I'm not sure that changing the default to physical is 
going to be possible without compatibility issues.
